Accommodations

Located near all the established amenities is the forest campground offering rentals for tents, tipis, bunkies, groups, & electric sites. As well, these sites are located closer to the amenities established by the previous owners.

Nestled further back into the park’s 268 acres is our Dark Sky Preserve – the first commercial preserve that the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada ever designated! Those looking to see the stars can rent one of our many meadow sites, the Milky Way Bunkie, or the coveted Stargazing Cabin.

 

The majority of our campsites are located within five minutes of these amenities:

  • Eco-friendly showers

  • Summer kitchen

  • Dish-washing station

  • Office

  • Playground

These sites are tucked into a treed area, and feature 15 amps of shared electricity. That means there is not enough power to use an air conditioner, or other high-consuming devices. Please research your amperage needs prior to booking.

Each site has a picnic table, cooking table and fire ring.  The hydro-electric sites are fantastic for families, as they are located nearest to the playground and mini putt.
